Dr Rosalind W Picard is an American scholar and inventor who is Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at the MIT Media Lab, and co-founder of the startups Affectiva and Empatica. She has received many recognitions for her research and inventions.

I wanted to speak to Dr Picard about her conversion from self-professed proud atheist to powerful Christian tech pioneer. 

Some highlights from this episode include Dr Picard's thoughts on an A.I Jesus, how complex computing taught Dr Picard about our journey to understand God, and what it takes for Dr Picard to teach a computer to recognise emotion.
